The time for the Music WorX Accelerator has come: In 2020 Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft will again be looking for innovative business models at the interface between music and technology.
Music WorX 2020 – With innovative business models towards the future
Blocked concert halls, cancelled festivals, deserted dance floors – the Corona crisis is shaking the (live) music industry. Alternative revenue and business models are needed. We are looking for business ideas that can support the industry is taking a step into a digital future. Business models that help the music industry to overcome the crisis are welcome. But: Of course, other innovative ideas are also welcome!
About the funding programme
Music WorX is one of the few accelerators worldwide that explicitly addresses start-ups and founders from the music industry. Up to four young companies are supported. In a compressed, three-month program they develop their business idea further. They are supported by experts and mentors from the Hamburg music industry. The teams also receive a financial grant.
Whether the Accelerator 2020 will take place as analogue, the digital or hybrid format depends on how the pandemic situation in Europe develops.

We are particularly looking for teams who have not yet founded their company or have only recently founded it. If you are interested, please apply via our Online-Fragebogen.
